THE MAGIC OF COLOURED INK

During the class we will see the collection of artworks in the Anykščiai Sacred Art Center and the Angel Museum. We learn how to recognise different techniques and discuss ink-based printmaking. Once the artwork has been chosen to suit each individual, an artistic interpretation is made using the ink-casting technique. School students develop their ability to focus their attention on one work of art at a time, to notice its smallest details and to understand its impact on their feelings. After the artistic interpretation of the work, together with the curator, the differences in expression with the original work are analysed, and an attempt is made to understand the reasons for the differences. The technique of inlay moulding encourages relaxation, develops the expression of emotions through the juxtaposition of colours and stains, contrasts and nuances. Pre-registration is required.

SYMBOLS IN THE COATS OF ARMS OF LITHUANIA

School students are involved in a “game” that invites them to explore the historical contexts that have influenced the development of city coats of arms. Creative activity – designing a school crest. School students develop their citizenship by trying to find out which values are most important to them, which ones they want to use in their school coat of arms, and how to convey them in the language of symbols.
